Moses – The Servant of the Lord

I was recently reading through the book of Joshua, and the other day, I noticed something I had not specifically focused on before. When the book of Joshua looks back to the time of Moses and retells or gives reminders of some of the things that happened during his life, it says something along the lines of “Moses, the servant of the Lord.” Over and over again, those words appear in Joshua following Moses’ name.

How dedicated and focused upon the ministry of the Lord must Moses have been to be repeatedly referred to by that title, even after his time on earth was finished! We should each ask ourselves if such could be said about our lives. Is each of our lives so focused upon pleasing God that the first thing others would think about when they hear our name is "the servant of the Lord"?
